Sorry my teammates, peers and coworkers are not shopkeepers. If that is how you interact with your co-workers I don't want to work on your team.

I feel like this is supposed to be an insult, but I really don't know what the difference is between "someone wants me to do something for them" and "someone wants me to do something for them in a shop". There are plenty of opportunities for socialising that aren't "when everyone is trying to get stuff done".
